Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lysis, binding and/or wash reagent and to a method for isolating and/or purifying nucleic acids.
  • Said lysis, binding and/or wash reagent and method are particularly suitable for use purposes in molecular diagnostics.
  • the prior art has disclosed a multiplicity of methods for isolating and/or purifying nucleic acids such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) from cells, cell cultures or virus cultures.
  • nucleic acids such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) from cells, cell cultures or virus cultures.
  • “classical” methods for isolating nucleic acids are based on a one-step method which involves carrying out an extraction after the addition of an aqueous buffer and an organic extractant.
  • the nucleic acids remain in the aqueous phase and may be isolated after the organic phase which contains undesired accompanying substances has been removed.
  • nucleic acids to solid, mostly mineral supports such as silicon dioxide.
  • the binding principle is based on a reversible binding of the nucleic acids under the influence of “chaotropic” salts and/or alcohol to the silicon dioxide surface.
  • various solutions or mixtures usually lysis, binding, wash and/or eluting solutions or mixtures, are added to the nucleic acid-containing sample, and in a final method step the purified nucleic acid is eluted from the support which has been added in the binding step at the latest.
  • the basic principle of both methods is based on the cells, in particular the plant, animal, human, bacterial or viral cells, being lysed in a first step. To this end, the cells are firstly incubated with a lysis buffer which disrupts the cells.
  • lysis buffers frequently contain the surfactant polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (Tween® 20). This surfactant is used for converting contaminations into a soluble or stabilized state during cell lysis, in order to remove them from the nucleic acid.
  • Teween® 20 polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate
  • lysis buffers containing polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate are not stable during storage. For example, the pH decreases.
  • a particular disadvantage is the fact that the yield of the isolated nucleic acids is reduced after storage when these lysis buffers are used.
  • Another disadvantage is the fact that the eluates containing nucleic acids are opaque, indicating the presence of contaminations which may interfere with further usage of the isolated nucleic acids.
